Law firms and legal businesses and organisations should make sure they have plans in place regarding personal data in the event of a no-deal Brexit, the government has warned. Digital minister Margot James reminded legal sector organisations last week to check the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) website for guidance. In the event of no deal, the government plans to secure a ‘data adequacy decision’ from the EU, which will let UK and EU firms carry on exchanging personal data. However, this agreement cannot be finalised until the UK has left. Call the ICO helpline on 0303 123 1113.
